Plant cells build nanofibrillar walls that are central to plant growth, morphogenesis and
mechanics. Starting from simple sugars, three groups of polysaccharides, namely, cellulose …

This article recounts, from my perspective of four decades in this field, evolving paradigms of
primary cell wall structure and the mechanism of surface enlargement of growing cell walls …

Plants have evolved complex nanofibril-based cell walls to meet diverse biological and
physical constraints. How strength and extensibility emerge from the nanoscale-to …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shows remarkably rapid growth (114.5 cm/day), but the
underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. After examining more than 12,750 …

Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for
supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These …

It is now established that crystalline cellulose is held together not just by hydrogen bonding,
but also by dispersion forces and by electrostatic attraction modulated by stereoelectronic …

Acetylated polysaccharides refer to polysaccharides containing acetyl groups on sugar
units. In the past, the acetylation modification of wall polysaccharides has been a hot …

Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls, which are dynamic structures displaying a strictly
regulated balance between rigidity and flexibility. Walls are fairly rigid to provide support and …
